G’day from Down Under

[Ahi Ka]

Well, for those down under only, I recommend freezing first, then dunk in boiling water. Wear protective eye gear, as the explosion might be powerful, and you don't want to be picking Meer shards from your face for the next week.

Is it bad that I want to see a video of this now?

Things can get boring with all that natural beauty around. Perhaps you need to travel to NYC....

There is actually a flight sale from NZ on at the moment. I can get a return ticket to LA for the same price as a pound of tobacco here. If I were single, I’d come over and smoke my way through the states. I’d be saving money right

I would say welcome but you were here before I was. But welcome from SE Texas anyway.

For me, welcoming is less a salutation and more a posture of hospitality. Chur bro.

Hi all,

I’ve been lurking for a while and thought it was time to properly introduce myself.

I hail from New Zealand, smack bang in the middle of the green belt. Kiwi and avocado country mostly, citrus and truffles too.

As you probably are aware, beggars can’t be choosers when it comes to tobacco options. I have a hard time not finding something to enjoy in all tobacco, even if it just the room or pouch note.

I have 7 cobs, among other pipes.

I asked my friend fletch for any pipe recommendations - he goes by @RustiePyles CPG here from memory - and he said petes, however whenever I find one for sale I am outbid by someone with deep pockets, probably in Vegas.

I like the idea of old high grade kaywoodies, but where did they all go?

Any help for a brother at what pipes I should smoke now?

Best,

David

Are there really Hobbits there? Are you a Hobbit? Do you live in a Hobbit hole?

Hobbit does not need to be capitalized, because there are no hobbits left in our capital. Only Humans.

Hi Dave.
A big welcome from a fellow Antipodean

There is a fellow on the Forums who is fulsome in his praise for Pipes by Lee. You should find them a lot easier to come by now that he has turned his attention to cornering the Marxman pipes market

Should you be lucky enough to find a Marxman, make sure you go for a pre-54 Algerian briar. The sap is nothing short of magical, so I hear.

Try to score a Marxman 400. Those are big enough to double as a mashie should you come across a few pesky Hobbits trying to make off with your crop of Smaug weed

I'd also like to warn you that we have a Mariah Carey impersonator lurking around on the forum who has been known to lure in unsuspecting pipe smokers. I suspect she's actually man from New Zealand, you might keep an eye out in case she/he is in your area.

Please be wary of the Carey...

Yes I’m a hobbit pipe smoker. It’s a hobby and a habit.

Hello. Welcome to the forums.
Which direction do the toilets flush in New Zealand? Clockwise, or anti-clockwise? Is it true that New Zealand is basically Australia but nicer? Have you ever seen a kangaroo? If I ever visit New Zealand, can I stay at your house, and if I do, how likely am I to see a kangaroo?
